Rotate Label?

[Allen42acj]

Is there a setting so the dish washer label rotates?

[BLayman]

Not that I have ever found.

Like other work a rounds I just place text over the labels so they can be read correctly.

Thanks Bill
We could just tell clients they can't have the dishwashers on that wall, bad Feng shui..

You can edit the CAD block that the symbol uses and rotate the "DW" label. While you are at it, you can make three others, then copy, adjust, relabel all four symbols so you have a DW for going on the N, S, E, and W walls.

Some of the DWs have a label, some don't.

CA should fix this. Standard practice is that text should always read from right/bottom.

Thanks Gene
That worked..

Allen, if you can get by with this arrangement, explode the Cad Block, open the text and uncheck "Rotate with Plan", then re-block. If not, maybe you can at least get by with fewer symbols, or Cad Blocks.

My suggestion would be to simply remove the "DW" designation from the cad block and then use cabinet labels and use custom labels such as "(N)DW or (E)DW.

On another note, can't we select the "DW" text and specify ROTATE IN PLAN, and won't the text then rotate along with the symbol, i.e. GFI outlets..... or am I goofed up?

Oh, Cliff already suggested this.... sorry Cliff.

[ambrozac]

No apology necessary Scott. Thanks for your other suggestions and help.

Silly me. Shoulda known this. I already made 16 separate symbols, one for every minor point on the compass!

. . .


Not really.

Chief already fixed this.

I'll send a bug report in with what Cliff posted.
The symbols should work right..
